Title: My Karella plant
Post by: Squash64 on August 16, 2012, 12:18:10

This is my Karella plant, sent to me by a very kind A4A member in June.  I've planted it outside next to the greenhouse and put a bottomless plastic container around it to protect it from mad-cat Psycho.

It has tiny little flowers on so there is a chance it will produce something but even if it doesn't, I don't mind because the leaves are so nice.

Well done - I've never managed to even germinate them! Hope you get at least one fruit from it.

A flower has opened today, if we get any summer now I might be lucky  :)
